PO Soon : MOGWAI - Come On Die Young 4 LP Box Set


Recommended Posts

A few sites say that it's limited to 1500, but Piccadilly says 1500 for the UK and Eire. That might mean there's more for the rest of the world, it might mean there's none and it might be wrong.

 

Prices include 20% UK VAT. Postage is to the USA and is the best I can find on the site.

 

Chemikal Underground: £55.00 and at least £10.00 postage (they don't give an amount for 4lp set)

Boomkat: 44.99 and £7.80

Piccadilly: £53.99 and at least £6.00, probably more.

Norman: £52.99 (they do a vinyl price match and lowered their price to the Bomkat one for me) and £11.20 (price for deluxe lp box set).

Rough Trade: £59.99 and £does it matter. Unless your getting other things from them too you're probably better off with another option.

Thanks for the links, Fox. +1 for no shortage of useful info. I had no idea that so many distros were carrying this. I'm a little iffy, now, since multiple sites are saying 1,500 and everyone's (supposedly) getting stock. Really does make me think Amazon copies will be limited.

My main incentive for ordering with Amazon was the speedy, stateside shipping. But in an older post I believe I said Chemikal was $102 PPD. If that's the case, it's only a few extra bucks to be guaranteed a copy. And based off previous US residents who've received their copy in great shape, it sounds like the packaging shouldn't be an issue.

Hrrrrrnnnng.

 

[edit]

 

Canceled my Amazon order and placed one with Chemikal.  Missed a savings of $5 or so, but I can live with it.  Batman's copy looks like it arrived in top condition, too, and it's always nice to support the label when possible.  Win win, so long as I don't get a "we're sorry, but we miscounted our available stock" e-mail from Chem.

it's really a stunning package, they did a fantastic job with it. i can't wait to get into the appendix stuff. the YT deluxe box is beautiful too, but this may take the cake.

My only problem with the Young Team set was that I wished the records were in proper jackets, not just the paper sleeves. The CODY set is exactly how I wish they would have done Young Team.

This caught me off guard as well, but I think it's a small price to pay to own the box.  If Mogwai keep true to their word and decide to repress it, I'd probably pick up a standard gatefold copy just because.

yeah they used a regular cardboard mailer, wrapped that in bubble wrap, and then put that in a plastic bag mailer. dude before who said it looked like a bomb was right on haha.

 

ps. <insert snarky comment about how you'd have the record already if you would have kept your order instead of jumping ship to amazon>  :P  :P  :P

Huge peace of mind, thank you.  Can't remember if the Chemikal receipt is delayed from the Paypal receipt or not, but I'll be able to breathe easy once someone confirms that this thing has shipped.

the receipt from CU should come like a minute after the paypal receipt

 

I've got nothing yet.  Checked spam folder and everything.  Making me feel a little uneasy.

I wonder if it has to do with the fact it's Saturday over here.  Did you receive a shipping confirmation?  I would assume not, since you sounded rather surprised in your post today.

yeah, no shipping confirmation. i just saw their tweet last week about them shipping so i was hoping it'd make it this week.

Might be time to start tracking down some other stuff too

I'm wrapping up my Built to Spill collection right now, and I think Mogwai will be the band I go after next trying to track down all their stuff. 

 

I just won a copy of Rock Action for $10 on Ebay a few days ago and I got a message from the seller yesterday saying that their house burned down, so they need to go through the records that made it out and see what condition it's in before they send it. Kind of scared. I think I'm going to try and back out and get a refund.
